Amazon DynamoDB Pros and Cons

The best thing about AWS Databases is the ease of usage and implementation. It is very easy to create a new database in seconds. It has a lot of database options such as Postgres, MySQL, Aurora, etc.

I personally like Aurora the best, with its serverless capabilities standing out from all other cloud providers.

I have been using Amazon Databases every day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AWS databases are fully managed, highly scalable, and secure, offering a wide range of purpose-built options like RDS, DynamoDB, and Redshift. They reduce operational overhead, support high availability, and integrate seamlessly with other AWS services—making it easy to build reliable, performant applications at scale.

EAWS databases can become expensive at scale, especially with high I/O or storage needs. Some services have complex pricing models and limits (like DynamoDB throughput). Also, vendor lock-in and limited customization compared to self-managed databases can be concerns for some users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

DynamoDB is a serverless database service that simplifies coding by eliminating server management. It automatically scales to handle traffic spikes, ensuring fast performance even under heavy load. Its flexible data model allows easy changes without a rigid structure. As a managed AWS service, it handles administrative tasks and integrates well with other AWS tools. For global reach, the Global Tables feature makes data accessible worldwide, and DynamoDB Streams enables real-time change tracking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Performing complex searches and combining data can be challenging. It's crucial to organize your data properly for easy access. There's no built-in option to run code directly in the database, which complicates multi-step tasks. Monitoring costs can be tricky, so stay vigilant about your expenses. While the system scales automatically, you may encounter "hot spots" that need attention. For full-text searching, you'll need to use an external service. Lastly, changing your data structure can be delicate due to the lack of strict guidelines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You don't need to setup any software infrastructure to start building on cloud. Just create code and deploy it on AWS. Rest everything will be taken care of. AWS clouds gives you a suite of offerings that lets you choose the perfect solution for your application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are so many things available on AWS that there is a paralysis of choice sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've been using AWS for over 12 years, and it’s no exaggeration to say it helped shape my career. I've built products on AWS that have impacted industries and people, and the platform has never let me down. The breadth, reliability, and depth of services have made it possible to move fast, scale confidently, and bring big ideas to life.

What’s equally impressive is that their customer-centric philosophy isn’t just talk — it’s real. Every interaction I’ve had, especially in moments of need through support, has reinforced that they genuinely care about their users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I send all of my constructive feedback to the contributors and leaders at the organization. They are easy to access and they are always ready to listen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best about AWS service is that::

1)AWS provides very vast services related to storage , servers, firewalls, networking , security .

2)AWS has good scalability, cost effective , it has good flexibilty .

its has different regions and has good availabity zones which helps with latency issues.

3)AWS provides good security for cloud it has Identity Access Management system , where datas can be protected and different users can be provided with different access and policies.

4)AWS has good security compliance.

5)AWS provided good intergartion when in comes in terms of migration and while deployment of different application using AWS services its lot easier.

6)AWS provides good documentation on its services .

7)AWS cloud provided proper updates on its services and if any new services are included proper webinars are conducted and the process and serices are explained. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Only the thing i dislike about AWS is naming of its services its not easier to find a service related to a particular search and naming its terms .

like example suppose S3 any new fresher wont be able to identify it as a storage service and the related term bucket it should have something named related to storage.

like other services like lightsail we wont know it is severless if you are a fresher. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The New UI which was introduced recently has some bugs that needs to be fixed that includes automatic logout when opening VPC via RDS or Ec2 console page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Global Availability ensures data will be available across all region ,

low latency read and writes makes it better for high traffic application Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it provides eventual consistency and does not support full test search natively Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use, Self explainatory Portal, Vast services and most of the countries/region covered.Easy to deploy our application.Great Customer Support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dont see any specific dislikes. I suggest if AWS can cover support for entire org instead of specific accounts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
